  1. An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with a velocity v and m is the mass per unit length of the water jet. What is the rate at which kinetic energy is imparted to water?
    1. mv2
    2. 1
      mv2
      2
    3. 1
      m2v2
      2
    4. 1
      mv3
      2

Correct Option: D

m : mass per unit length

​∴ rate of mass leaving the the hose per sec =
mx
= mv
t

Rate of K.E. =
1
(mv)v2 =
1
mv3
22
